“Katiuzca is just fabulous and will make your dog feel instantly at home. She is kind and caring and your dog becomes part of the family. Poppy loves going and enjoys her walks and new adventures. It is lovely to have photos and feedback throughout the stay. Highly recommended”

“My 12 week old puppy stayed with Shadia for the day and she had the best time!! Shadia updated us regularly with photos, videos and it was sooo nice to know exactly what my puppy was upto while we were busy. My puppy also really enjoyed spending time with Shadias dog, and I felt it was really good for her socialisation too! If we are ever back in Southampton and require dog sitting, Shadia will be the first person I call!”

Steve will be doing the sitting, walking playing & care and I will be around as well when I am not working, although my office is in the garden so they can come and keep me company when just relaxing We have a fully fenced large garden and the property has CCTV all around so is very secure. We have a separate lodge which has its own garden for dogs who cannot socialize and this has its own cameras.

“What a delightful, warm lady. Nothing was too much trouble. Kept me informed even though only had intermittent Internet. Boy clearly happy ad when we needed to return to collect his bed ge actually wanted to go back in and initially was refusing to come off the drive, even when door closed. Recommend without hesitation. Would score higher if I could”

“We’ve used Katrina now several times and our dogs love her. She is kind and considerate, giving our dogs a lot of care and attention. She is now our go to dog sitter for as long as she still provides this service. Could not recommend more!”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for different breeds, from an American Akita to my miniature dachshund, who’s still very much part of the family. My Akita was with me from being a puppy right through to 13 years old, so I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life, from training and daily exercise to caring for them as they get older. Dogs have always been a big part of our home. I have two young children who have grown up around dogs since birth and are very gentle and comfortable with them. I genuinely love having dogs around the house. Plenty of fuss, cuddles, attention, and long walks, especially down at the beach, are all part of everyday life here. I aim to make every dog feel relaxed, safe, and at home while they’re with us. 🐾 I work full-time Monday to Friday (7:30am–5:00pm), so I am mainly available for dog boarding and pet care at weekends. This means I can offer a calm, consistent home environment with plenty of attention, walks, and time spent with your dog while I am home. On some weekends I have my children staying with me every other weekend. They are dog-friendly, calm, and have grown up around dogs, so your pet will be part of a family environment when they are here. On the alternate weekends, it will just be myself at home, providing a quieter setting for dogs who prefer a more relaxed space. During the weekdays, I am open to considering dogs that are well-behaved and comfortable being left alone during working hours (7:30am–5:00pm), provided the owner is happy with this routine. I ensure early morning, evening, and night-time care with walks and attention before and after work. Overall, I aim to provide a safe, stable, and caring home where dogs are well looked after and treated like part of the family. 🐾 I have a reasonably sized, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely relax, play, or enjoy some fresh air when the weather is nice. Inside the home, dogs are welcome to have full access to shared living spaces and will be treated as part of the family. They are allowed on furniture, so they can feel comfortable and at home, although I do not allow dogs on the beds. I also have my own dachshund, Winnie, who is very friendly and used to other dogs, so your dog will have company and social interaction during their stay. If required, I can comfortably crate dogs and will follow any routine or instructions provided by owners to ensure they feel secure and settled. My priority is always to provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment where dogs are well cared for and can relax. 🐾

About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last 11 years and absolutely love them to bits. I’m caring, reliable and confident with dogs of all sizes, and I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, cuddles, playtime or a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, walks and care they need. I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’ll always make sure pets have regular toilet breaks, fresh water, playtime, cuddles and a routine that suits them. I’m also happy to discuss times that work best around your pet’s usual routine. I would care for pets as if they were my own, whether they’re in my home or in their owner’s home. I will always follow the owner’s routine, including feeding times, walks, toilet breaks, medication and any special instructions. I will make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable environment, lots of attention, and safe supervised care. My own dog is bathed, groomed and well cared for at home, with flea and worming treatment kept up to date, along with his boosters. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Bella! I'm a genuine animal lover and offer a safe, loving home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We have a friendly 5 year old small dog called Henry who loves having canine friends to play with, and three kind, dog loving children aged 9 and above who have grown up around animals and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so I'll make sure you receive regular photo updates and messages to give you complete peace of mind. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing in the garden, or simply curling up for cuddles, I'll do my best to keep them happy, comfortable and following their usual routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and giving them a home from home experience while you're away. I work as a beautician from my home, in our converted garage. So I am around all the time and in and out of the house, I can follow your dogs routine, to keep them comfortable and safe. We have a lovely friendly Chorkie, called Henry, who will keep your dog company too. I follow your dogs normal routine as closely as possible as I think this helps them feel more settled. We have a fenced garden that dogs have access to throughout the day.

About: We’ve grown up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. From childhood right through to adulthood, caring for animals has always been second nature to us. Over the years, friends, family, neighbours, and even people in our wider community have trusted us time and again as their first choice when it comes to looking after their precious pets. That trust means everything to us, and we treat every animal in our care with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Our working hours are flexible and one of us is part time. Our schedules mean that our pets and any visitors will only be left alone for work related reasons for 2-4 hours. We have a secure garden with tall fences. We live within a two minute walk of both Queen’s and King’s Park. We know how important it is to feel completely confident when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why we pride ourselves on being reliable, responsible, and respectful.

“Rodney had a great time with Ying. We received daily photo / video updates, and he was well exercised. He got on great with Ying’s dog Trigger (Yes, Rodney & Trigger lol!) and received lots of fuss from Ying’s family. We will definitely be using Ying again :)”

Kate D.

“Trigger came home very happy after his weeks stay. David and Suzy went out of their way to help us out by having him for an extra night at the beginning and bringing him home at the end , which we really appreciated. Will definitely be using again. Thanks.”

Lindsey F.

“Niels provided excellent care for our dog Henry. He had great communication from the start and was very accommodating to slight changes in pick up and drop off times. Would certainly recommend Niels and will likely use his boarding services in the future”
